'Booze It & Lose It' blitzes through Brunswick

The statewide initiative aimed at curbing drunk driving blitzed through Brunswick and New Hanover counties last Friday.

“Booze It & Lose It” checkpoints were set up throughout the state on Aug. 8, or “08-08-08” to remind drivers of the legal blood alcohol limit for driving, .08.

“We did arrest 16 impaired drivers for the two counties,” 1st Sgt. J.O. Holmes of the N.C. State Highway Patrol said.

“The checkpoints floated around, but we had saturation patrols throughout the entire day,” Holmes explained.
